You are right. You may add Acetic anhydride between 5-6 steps to acetylate morphine. Adjust pH ~3 and, after one hour stirring, neutralize to pH ~5.5-6 by sodium bicarbonate.

Hey G.Petton can i also leave the water/plant mix cook for a bit longer then 1 hour so i dont need to strain it and do the water/pant mix 3 times or isnt that recommended? Also how do i acetylate the morphine with Acetic anhydride and how much do i need?
Thanks for the great recipe btw

Do you want to scale the method up?

Hi J. Patton, Thanks for your nice article. Did you just synthesize this product from dried poppy pods? Opium was not used in the synthesis?
